Spring Carlisle Flashback

Long after an automotive event has come and gone, I sometimes wonder if something I saw on the field ever sold. In the case of the Spring Carlisle event, there were two vehicles that struck me in particular. Does anybody know the answer?

The first is a 1974 AMC Javelin. According to the sign posted inside the front window, it’s a P-code AMC, with power steering, air, and 15-inch Rallye wheels. Though the 360 engine with four-barrel, as well as the four-speed transmission, did come with the vehicle, it had been inserted into the remains of the rear seat, instead of under the hood. The asking price at the time stood at $4,500.

This Oldsmobile, depending on ones point of view, is hard to pass up. The then owner announced that is a complete 1968 Cutlass Convertible, with a 350 engine and automatic transmission. Now, I’m not sure what special features it hid under the well-aged sheet metal, but at only $2,000 sticker price there were a lot of people walking past it.
